MEMORANDUM
GARY L. SIEB, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
SERVICES
FROM: Maxcie Diamond, Assistant Director of Planning and Community Services
SUBJECT: Administrative approval of Additional Parking for Mohawk
I received a request from James Stewart of Champion Properties, on behalf of Mohawk,
for ~ve approv~ to allow the.expansion of the existing parking lot by~50
s~ace4 to serve the 150 employees of this 300,000 square foot lease space. The need for
this parking is detailed in the attached letter from Mr. Stewart with exhibits attached,
illustrating the design for the parking lot and the required tree relocations.
As you may recall, this property, which is located east of the northeast comer of Bethel
and Royal, was zoned PD-185 to allow for a reduction in the parking for warehouse use
to one space per 5,000-square feet, subject to the assurance that if additional paxking~is
n~eed.ed, it could be provided while .meeting the landscape reguirements.
This request is to add 50 parking spaces in close proximity to the front door of Mohawk.
There axe currently 152 spaces, and this will bring the total parking to 202 spaces. Mr.
Stewart's original request indicated a 30-foot landscaped buffer between the expanded
parking lot and Bethel Road. After my conversation with Mr. Stewart, he increased the
Landscaped ~uffer area to 60 feet. There are.21 trees that will need to be relocated to
allow for this parking lot. As illustrated on the attached, all 21 trees will be relocated in
this immediate area, over half of which will be placed in front of the expanded parking
lot, therefore exceeding the parking lot landscaping requirements. In terms of non-
vehicular landscaping, as part of this PD, 3.6 acres of credit was given for the detention
area along the eastern property line. This expanded parking area is less than one-half of
an acre in size; therefore, there is still a significant amount of excess non-vehicular
landscaping in this PD. The perimeter landscaping will not be affected.
P~g¢ I of 2
This expanded parking lot will be well screened from Royal Lane due to existing
landscaping on the "sun dial" property and from Bethel Road due to the relocation of the
existing trees.
I visited the site on August 16, 2002, and it appeared that most of the parking stalls were
occupied. While I was taking the attached pictures, I drove beyond the "secured area"
and was questioned by the guard. I explained that I was from the City looking at the
parking situation. He reiterated the need for additional parking. Therefore, to avoid the
issues with overflow parking on streets which currently exists in other sections of our
industrial areas and to serve one of our newest corporations, we are requesting
administrative approval of this amended site plan to allow for the expeditious
construction of 50 additional parking spaces.

Dear Maxcie:
Pursuant to our discussion and preliminary plans submitted for city review for an additional fifty car
parking area, we~ are hereby further resubmitting necessary data that will hopefully exhibit our
compliance with the landscape requirements of this planned development. We have revised the location
of the new parking plan to allow for a s.ixLy foot landscaped frontage.
The Mohawk Southwest operation in Tradepoint 1 is a highly active distribution center whose
employment now exceeds the parking available to this tenant. Also the security of the facility is such that
employee access is restricted to the front entrance to the building, thus the preferred location of the
additional parking being in close proximity to the main entrance. Safety issues are also of significant
concern. Trying to locate, mix, and coordinate additional auto parking with the tractor-trailer activity is a
rather hazardous matter. At this time Mohawk has traffic control personnel monitoring ingress and egress
to the truck courts. Employee vehicles are not allowed in this congested area.
Additionally, the approach onto Bethel Road is not wide enough for tractor-trailers to negotiate tuming
onto the narrow road without over running the curb and severely rutting the unpaved portion of the street
right-of-way. We are requesting that the city allow a concrete ~houlder to be added at top of curb
elevation. This will provide a load-beating surface for trailer wheels to overrun the curb without
damaging the parkway.
We trust that our concerns for city landscape compliances, user traffic, safety, and security issues have
been appropriately addressed. We would appreciate your earliest review and approval of this submittal
as this is a matter of great concern to Mohawk and Champion Partners.
Please feel free to give me a call ifI can be of any service.
